We wish to extend a hearty "Thank You" to the thirty parents of Webb students who have already given a total of $33,595 to the Webb Annual Fund as part of the Parents’ effort. The parent goal for the 2010-11 Webb Institute Annual Fund is $100,000 — and we are off to a great start! Much more needs to be done, however, before the end of the 2010-11 academic year June 30th.

Individual parent gifts have ranged from $250 to more than $10,000, and grandparents have graciously contributed an additional $2,850 for a total of $36,445 raised by current families. Sixty-seven Parents of Alumni have contributed an additional $23,750 to this year’s Annual Fund, for which we are grateful. If you have not made your contribution to Webb Institute yet, please do so today by visiting Support Webb.

We extend a second hearty “Thank You” to Webb parents who are volunteering their time to the Webb Annual Fund Parent Committee this year. Thank you to Katherine and Keith Dixon, Sue and John Donatelli, Marylou and Richard Ferrieri, Sandra Groff, Robin Hiddemen (Codega), Susan and Craig Landgren, Kathi and Peter Needham, and Linda and Paul Neureuter. We welcome and encourage parents to join the committee and help in our effort to reach out to fellow parents in support of the great work of Webb Institute. Please contact the Development Office at Webb to learn more, or call 516.759.2040.

If you are a Webb parent who has not yet given, please take a moment to think about how much Webb means to your child and what a life-defining experience they are enjoying. Then consider a tax-deductible gift to Webb. Please give what you can; every contribution makes a difference. We promise it will feel good.
